Description

  Youth sports is any sports event where competitors are younger than adult age whether children or adolescent. Youth sports includes school sports at primary and secondary level, as well as sports played outside the education system whether informally or organized. Participation in organized sports during childhood and adolescence has important benefits for physical, psychological, and social health. Sport-based youth development programs outside of school promote a wide range of learning and life skill development. Involvement in youth athletics encourages youth to live a healthy and happy lifestyle foregoing the common issues many youth face such as obesity and depression. Communication plays a critical role in the development and success of youth sports programs effective communication among youth athletes coaches and parent improves team cohesion, facilitates skill development, and creates an environment that promotes physical, social, and emotional growth. Negative experiences can be created through a sport that is overly focused on competition and winning at all costs or that fails to place the healthy developmnt of youth at the center of the experience. Such negative experiences may result in a young person's low self-esteem, involve them in negative relationships, encourage poor sportsmanship. These can be avoided when parents and coaches are chosen carefull, ensuring that programs offer a positive development experience for youth.   Fun, teamwork, and growth are key goals of many recreational sports leagues. Many leagues emphasize the joy of plaing over winning. Even so, young athletes want to get a solid foundation in the basics of the sport. This is especially true for any young people who may to play in a competitive league or on a high school sports team.
